For the first time ever, PolicyMic is launching a hands-on mentorship to help young writers learn the ins and outs of op-ed writing and build an effective online presence, all while engaging in smart dialogue around race, feminism, sexuality and gender.

About Liz: Liz holds a Masters degree from the London School of Economics. She's a critical thinker, a salty snack lover, and completely passionate about social justice.

In the past 4 weeks, Liz's work has been mentioned by the New York Times, Canada's Globe and Mail, and retweeted by Fox News, Anonymous, and Feministing (just to name a few). Join our Feminist Writing Skillshare and Liz will teach you how to be a beast on Twitter, how to connect with the major players in online journalism, and how to build a portfolio of work around critical social justice issues.

How the Feminist Writing Skillshare works: The program begins on May 1, 2013 and will run for 8 weeks. Writers will produce a weekly column, participate in partake in special Google hangouts with Sam + Liz, and have access to regularly scheduled online training sessions in gender and politics writing. PolicyMic will promote writers’ content via social media and our newsletter (subscribe here).
